After nearly two months of exciting poker action at the 2025 LA Poker Classic, the day has finally arrived. The final table is set in the $10,000 LAPC Main Event, with $372,280 up top under the lights of the feature table. Play will get underway at 2:00 p.m. local time in the stream theater at The Commerce Casino & Hotel.
The remaining nine contenders have navigated their way through a field of 145 entries over three days of play, and everyone is looking up at Faraz Jaka leading the way with 2,210,000 chip is his bag. That represents 184 big blinds, or more than 25 percent of the chips in play, leaving just 6,500,000 for the other eight players.
The group chasing Jaka is full of final table experience, starting with Frank Brannan in second spot with 1,242,000 chips. Brannan held the lead for a good portion of Day 3, before Jaka's run through the final few levels of the night. He now sits just ahead of Elvyn Bello, who rounds out the top three with 1,235,000 for 103 big blinds.
